National Communications Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has lambasted the ruling government for running the country into a ditch.
Speaking during an engagement on Adom FM, the communicator said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government is the worst government when it comes to borrowing.
He argued that due to excessive borrowing, Ghana is now highly indebted.
According to him, the unfortunate thing is that when the NDC cautioned government against excessive borrowing, it refused to listen but rather organised kenkey parties and chilled with Hennessey at the Finance Ministry.
“Since Ghana gained independence in 1957 till date, the current debt figures by the NPP transcends all debts accrued within this period. Meanwhile, they can’t also account for any rewarding projects they’ve used the monies for.
“When we were advising them, they did not listen. Rather, they were feasting on kenkey, cooking waakye, and throwing kenkey and waakye parties with Hennessey at the Finance Ministry, amidst innuendoes at us. This is the end result,” Sammy Gyamfi bemoans.
Due to Ghana’s high debt levels, the country finds itself in a very difficult situation.
Now unable to service its debt, the country is looking up to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a support programme.
